Time Travel: A Fisherwoman Goes to the Sea to Raise a Baby

Chapter 326 Stealing Business

Unlike before when they set up stalls at the docks, now that there are more customers, one teppanyaki grill is no longer enough for the restaurant.

So Xu Yi went to the blacksmith shop immediately and ordered four barbecue grills.

This is the first time I've used it today.

Xu Anyang stood firmly in front of the hot plate, his shovel almost flying in his hand. The snow-white vermicelli noodles danced on the scalding hot plate, coated with golden egg liquid and emerald green chives, sizzling loudly.

This one step is all it takes to bring out the flavor.

Immediately afterwards, he flipped his wrist and reached into the wooden bucket filled with crab meat, shrimp meat, squid rings, mussel meat, and oyster meat, scooping up a large spoonful.

In front of the barbecue grill next to her, Er'er deftly flipped the meat skewers.

The pork belly, with its alternating layers of fat and lean meat, is constantly rendered of oil by the charcoal fire, while the lamb skewers are brushed with a layer of honey soy sauce, glistening with an enticing caramel color in the firelight.

San Chuan occasionally fanned the charcoal fire with a palm-leaf fan to make the smoke less pungent.

The newly arrived servant, Afu, stood at the door, greeting guests for the first time. He twisted the hem of his clothes with his hands, looking somewhat uneasy.

He was only fifteen or sixteen years old, as thin as a stick insect, but his eyes were very bright.

It was because he could read that Xu Yiyi bought him back.

"Afu!"

Sihai bounced out from behind the counter, carrying a pot of freshly brewed tea: "Serving tea to the guests!"

Ah Fu hurriedly went in, took the teapot from the counter, and managed to deliver the tea to the customer's table without much difficulty.

Sihai stood aside watching, shaking his head helplessly.

"Didn't I already say that you should ask the guests what kind of tea they would like to drink first?"

Sihai stood on tiptoe, his round eyes looking at the new guest: "What kind of tea would you like, sir?"

The customer was amused by the little boy's serious expression: "Oh, little shopkeeper, you know about tea? Tell me, what kinds of tea do you have?"

Sihai immediately puffed out his little chest and counted on his fingers: "There's barley tea, chrysanthemum tea, and cassia seed tea!"

"Wow! You have quite a lot of tea! But I've never heard of any of them before."

The guest feigned surprise: "Then let me ask you, which tea is the best?"

Sihai, hands on his hips, introduced the place like a little adult:

"The barley tea smells wonderful, like roasted rice!"

He waved his little hand in front of his nose, mimicking the aroma of tea: "My older sister told me that this is the best way to cut through the greasiness of barbecue!"

"Chrysanthemum tea is sweet and can help reduce internal heat!"

As he spoke, he pointed to his little mouth: "Last time I ate too much grilled fish and got blisters on my tongue, so my older sister made me this."

"Cassia seed tea is a bit bitter."

The child suddenly scrunched up his face and stuck out his tongue: "It's not just a little bitter! It's really bitter! But Grandpa Yun says it's good for the eyes, so he drinks it often."

The customer was amused by his adorable appearance: "The little shopkeeper can make the decision!"

Sihai straightened his back again and said earnestly, "Barbecue goes best with chrysanthemum tea!"

After introducing the tea, the child, along with Ah Fu, helped the guests order dishes.

Back at the counter, he carefully followed Ah Fu's instructions.

"Ah Fu, don't be afraid! The guests won't eat you. You'll get the hang of things after doing them a few times."

Sihai nodded calmly and patted Afu on the shoulder with the maturity of a little adult.

……

"What do you mean?"

Xu Anyang's angry voice came in, interrupting Sihai's speech.

He jumped down from the small stool and ran to the door with his short legs to look.

"What are you doing? Trying to steal my business? Have you no shame?"

When Sihai saw the scene in front of him, his little face immediately puffed up.

No wonder Xu Anyang was angry.

It turned out that Hong Gang was standing at the entrance of the restaurant, looking like a pregnant woman with a big belly, directing the cooks to set up the barbecue grill.

The iron frame was dark and black, and it was made exactly according to the iron frame customized by Xu Yiyi.

They are exactly the same.

"What? You're allowed to sell, but I'm not? Business is about individual ability..."

Hong Gang looked smug, showing no embarrassment whatsoever.

Xu Anyang's face turned ashen in an instant.
